This is my tenth or eleventh season of pool ownership and I’ve been using TFP methods since that first season. The pool has done great under my watch. But this year‘s opening has shaken my confidence.
Opened two days ago to a murky dark green pool. tested ph and CYA. Ph was super low. Added all I had of ph UP, but still too low. I am currently Waiting for ph UP to be delivered. Decided to get the pool chlorinated anyway. I added enough for chlorine to reach > 16 (CYA is 40). Chlorine hasn’t dropped since yesterday. Still above twenty. Yesterday the pool was blue but cloudy. Today, it’s turned a lovely light green. Most of the winter silt has been vacuumed out. High chlorine, yet green pool? I don’t understand. Does it have anything to do with the fact that I didn’t adjust the ph adequately?
thank you for any advice. Pat
